Nice little pub not far from the town centre, had some cheesy chips and was surprised how nicely cooked they were, definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a pub to put your feet up in for a bit during a day out.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Menu was small and simple. The food that came out was tasty and not too much of the plate. My daughter enjoyed herself so much. Lovely friendly cosy atmosphere. Could not fault at all.
